Epidemiology or International Health?

Which one do you think will help me get a job easier and with a good salary? I am graduating in December from undergrad and want to know which major I should use for my MPH or MS.

Thanks

Um, why those 2? interests lie there Im guessing? there isnt really good money to be made in either of these, as epidemics are usually in poorer countries/areas.. and there is little desire from big pharma companies to create and manufacture drugs and treatments for diseases like this. no one in biotech/pharma cares about parasitic diseases, or malaria, etc.. because they dont affect Americans, and they don’t affect anyone who could actually pay for treatment. see what I mean?

If you liked your biochemistry class, try an MS in Biochem, or accelerated MS/Ph.D biochem degree.. biochemists for big biotech/pharmaceutical companies can make really good money, and its work that is cutting edge… but you have to be in the right area… so move to Cambridge MA, or San Francisco.
